Chairman’s Report

It gives me great 
pleasure to present 
the 2016 Annual 
Report for Monash 
IVF Group. 

Monash IVF Group has delivered  
a strong financial result for 2016 
derived from a business focus on 
developing and maintaining industry 
leading science and technology in 
assisted reproductive services and 
womens imaging. 

Group revenues were up 25.3% to 
$156.6m. Reported net profit after tax 
(NPAT) increased 34.6% to $28.8m. 
The board has declared a fully franked 
final dividend of 4.5 cents per share. 
The total fully dividend per share for 
FY16 is 8.5 cents and represents a 
dividend payout ratio of 70%. 

Revenue growth was driven by total 
IVF patient treatments up 12.9% on 
the previous year, well above industry 
growth rates. Monash IVF Group 
continues to grow overall market  
share and has made inroads in the 
NSW market, growing market share 
from 5.6% to 8.3%. In the Victorian 
and South Australian markets –  
where we are a significant player –  
we maintained market share. 

Our low intervention assisted 
reproductive services clinics continue 
to gain momentum and are making  
an improved contribution to the Group. 
Patient treatments delivered by these 
clinics now represent 5% of total 
patient treatments. These services are 
complementing our full service clinics.

The combination of Sydney Ultrasound 
and Monash Ultrasound for Women’s 
17 locations now represents almost 
17% of Monash IVF Group’s revenues, 
providing greater diversification  
of earnings and an opportunity  
for the cross referral of services. 

KL Fertility in Malaysia continues  
its growth trajectory, with revenues  
up 10.7% and patient treatments  
up almost 20%. Our newer fertility 
specialists in our KL clinic are 
continuing to build their volumes. 

Our science and research investment 
is also paying dividends as we’ve 
continued to see a strong uptake  
by patients using our leading embryo 
genetic screening technology, with 
demand for the test up over 70%  
on the prior period. We have also  
seen a quadrupling of our non-invasive 
pre-natal testing (NIPT) to more than 
9000 tests in FY16. We are proud  
to offer our patients such unique  
and important diagnostic testing 
services that can make a significant 
difference to the likelihood of a healthy 
pregnancy outcome. 

We’ve also invested in new reproductive 
consulting locations in key suburbs  
to broaden our geographic footprint. 
We’ve expanded our Gold Coast 
presence with a new purpose built 
clinic, and added new ultrasound 
clinics in Sunshine and Berwick.  
Our Malaysian clinic will soon relocate 
to a superior facility over the coming 
months to assist with future growth.

The strong financial results for 2016 
confirm and validate the Group’s 
strategy. The results also give the 
company the confidence to continue 
exploring the right growth opportunities 
in existing markets, and further afield. 

On behalf of the Board and all 
shareholders, I would like to thank 
James and the management team  
for delivering a significant financial 
result. Thanks also goes to the 
Group’s dedicated and passionate 
doctors, nurses, scientists and 
support staff that make sure every 
patient is provided superior care. 

I also express the Board’s thanks to 
the company’s shareholders for their 
continued support. I invite you to join 
the Board and the senior leadership 
team at our Annual General Meeting  
in November.

Chairman

Investing in Growth

CEO/Managing Director’s Report

Monash IVF Group’s strong FY16 
performance reflects the quality of our 
businesses, a clearly articulated and 
executed growth strategy, and the 
commitment of our employees and 
doctors to delivering high standards  
of care to patients across our facilities.

We’ve enjoyed a strong year of both 
revenue and EBITDA growth across all  
services and businesses. This growth 
has come from ensuring our core 
strategy of focusing on high quality 
research-led reproductive services and 
imaging is at the core of everything we 
do. Our position remains unchanged- 
to be a leader in scientific and clinical 
innovation driven by a philosophy of 
“excellence in science and care”.

We now have an expanded network  
of fertility related services with over  
40 IVF clinics, ultrasound practices 
and service centres across Australia 
and Malaysia. Our network also 
includes over 100 dedicated doctors, 
and in excess of 700 scientific, nursing, 
allied health and support staff. 

Our heritage is such that we were there 
at the very conception of the assisted 
reproductive technology specialty, 
having achieved the world’s first IVF 
pregnancy in 1973. Since then over 
35,000 babies have been born with 
our help. A Monash IVF baby is born 
every two-and-a-half hours in Australia. 
By the time you’ve finished reading this 
annual report, we will have welcomed 
another Monash IVF Group baby into 
this world! 

We now deliver approximately one in 
four of the IVF treatments undertaken 
in Australia. Our market share in-roads 
have been driven by our clinic network 
growing its domestic patient treatment 
numbers by 12.4% versus the prior 
corresponding period. This was well 
above industry growth rates.

We are exceptionally proud of the 
pregnancy success rates we deliver 
across our clinics. We have been 
marketing and promoting these 
assertively and as a result we are 
seeing market share gains across  
the Monash IVF Group. 

Our NSW growth story is particularly 
impressive. We have gone from 0.6% 
market share a few years ago to 8.3% 
today through a mix of acquisitive and 
organic growth. Our Bondi Junction 
and Next Generation Fertility full 
service clinics in Sydney continue  
to go from strength to strength. 

The fundamental drivers of growth  
in our industry remain sound and 
unchanged. Women continue to defer  
child birth until their mid to late 30s. 
Single women and same-sex couples 
seeking treatment also continues  
to rise. We are also supporting  
more patients through the use of 
donated gametes (eggs or sperm). 
These treatment programs are 
exceptionally important – and often  
the last available option – for patients 
unable to obtain biological assistance 
from family and friends. 

Our low intervention clinics continue  
to gain momentum and are making  
an improved contribution to the  
Group. Patient treatments delivered  
by our BUMP and MyIVF clinics 
represented just over 5% of total 
patient treatments for the year. Our  
low intervention services are very 
much complementing our full service 
clinics with up-referral occurring into 
our full service clinic network.

Ultrasound and Imaging
This year marks the first full year of 
ownership of our Sydney Ultrasound 
business, a business acquired in  
June 2015. We are comfortable with 
the way this business is performing. 
The combination of Sydney Ultrasound 
and Monash Ultrasound for Women’s 
17 locations now represents almost 
17% of Monash IVF Group’s revenues. 
We now provide in excess of 80,000 
scans a year for a wide range of 
female health issues. The patient  
mix is both IVF patients and patients 
who have conceived spontaneously. 

Our network of ultrasound practices 
has provided us with a wide 
geographic footprint to further promote 
our non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) 
to both IVF and non-IVF patients.  
This screening test can determine – 
with great certainty – whether a yet 
unborn baby has a high risk of being 
affected by a genetic condition.  
We saw a quadrupling of our NIPT 
testing numbers to in excess of 9000 
tests. As a result of the growth in this 
test – and our strong in-house research 
and development capabilities – we will 
be bringing this testing in-house to offer 
a more contemporary and faster service 
to our patients.

Research and Development
We continue to invest heavily in 
research across our clinic network  
and through the Monash IVF Research 
and Education Foundation with 
considerable quarantined funding made 
available to drive activities aimed at 
improving treatment outcomes for our 
patients. We currently have 34 projects 
underway and funded. Many of these 
research activities are undertaken in 
collaboration with some of Australia’s 
leading universities and research 
institutes which we have deep and 
long term relationships. The Group  
has successfully submitted over  
50 scientific papers and presentations  
both locally and internationally.  
A number of these research initiatives 
have already provided us with stepped 
improvements to our already leading 
reproductive treatment methods.

The Group’s “Embryo Screen” 
technology remains amongst the most 
advanced embryo genetic screening 
test available in Australia. We’ve 
continued to see a strong uptake  
of this test which is up over 70%  
on the prior corresponding period.  
We continue to offer patients world’s 
best technology in this area through 
our next generation sequencing 
platform. Almost one in five our 
patients undergoing IVF treatment  
are now availing themselves of our 
Embryo Screen technology. This 
technology greatly assists in choosing 
the very best embryo and greatly 
improves our patients’ chance  
of a successful pregnancy.

International
Our international operation on the 
Malaysian peninsula – KL Fertility – 
continues its growth with revenues 
up 10.7% and patient treatments  
up almost 20%. Our newer fertility 
specialists continue to build  
their volumes and local profiles.  
We are now well advanced on the 
construction of a much larger premise 
in Kuala Lumpur to accommodate 
stronger volumes and improved 
patient amenity.

Our dedicated staff continue to play 
the defining role in our success.  
The skills and expertise of our 
scientists, nurses, support staff,  
and doctors, across our Australian  
and Malaysian sites provide an 
environment for patients that is 
clinically world class but also warm 
and supportive. The reproductive 
journey for some of our patients can  
be emotionally trying. I am proud of the 
support and care – and the dedicated 
lengths our staff go to – to provide  
our patients with the best chance  
of having a child. We are now working  
at further enhancing the Monash IVF 
Group as the natural employer of 
choice in our industry. 

Internally, we have strengthened our 
support services across HR, finance, 
procurement, marketing and business 
development to ensure we can deliver 
on our growth ambitions. I am also 
supported by a very experienced and 
strong management team. In particular, 
I’d like to thank Michael Knaap, Group 
CFO and Company Secretary, for his 
work over the past 12 months in further 
improving the Group’s balance sheet 
and his financial discipline that has  
put us in a strong position for growth.  
I am also grateful to Richard Davis and 
the Board who have provided valuable 
direction and guidance to the senior 
management team.

Finally, I would like to thank all of the 
dedicated and committed staff at 
Monash IVF Group. Through your hard 
work and commitment to our vision 
and values, we are able to achieve 
world class outcomes for our patients. 
I look forward to working with you  
in the coming year to further build  
on the success of the last year.

Fertility Specialists 
We continue to strengthen our  
medical specialist team – which grew 
to 103 net of two planned retirements. 
Our approach of careful and systematic 
succession planning and transitioning 
of patients to our younger up and 
coming doctors is working well. 

We have deep experience and passion  
across our medical, scientific and 
nursing teams. To further enhance 
cross-pollination of clinical learnings 
across the Group and to increase 
commercial engagement with our 
medical teams, we established  
two peak committees: the Group 
Medical Advisory Committee and the  
Group Medical Executive Committee. 
We’ve also appointed an inaugural 
Group Medical Director, Professor  
Luk Rombauts, who is one of our  
long serving fertility specialists.

Notes: 

1.  Patient Treatments are the sum of fresh and

Investing in Performance

CFO Report

Strong revenue 
growth of 25.3%  
or $31.6m enabled 
Monash IVF Group  
to deliver a 34.6% 
increase in 
reported NPAT  
to $28.8m in FY16.

The most pleasing aspect of the 
growth is that 10.7% of the revenue 
growth was organic, driven by both 
market share growth and above trend 
IVF industry growth rates, but also 
14.6% of the revenue growth was 
derived through acquisitions from  
our Sydney Ultrasound for Women 
business and the Monash IVF Bondi 
Junction business. 

As a result of the revenue growth we 
experienced EBITDA growth of 27.6% 
to $49.6m, whilst our EBITDA margins 
improved 70 basis points to 31.7% as 
we generated the benefits of leverage.

The FY16 earnings growth further 
consolidates a track record of strong 
financial performance with a 16.3% 
compound annual growth rate increase 
in NPAT over the previous 3 years. 

Domestically, our growth enabled  
a strong performance and delivered 
revenue growth of $31.0m, or 26%,  
in the Australian market. This enabled 
a 29.3% growth in onshore EBITDA. 
We again had strong revenue growth 
of 10.7% in our Kuala Lumpur clinic  
in Malaysia, where we generated an 
EBITDA of $2.4 million, which was  
up on the prior year. 

A real strength of our business  
is the excellent cash flow generation 
and earnings conversion whereby  
we generated $44.2 million in net 
operating cash flow at a pre-tax cash 
flow conversion of nearly 100.0%.  
As a result of the strong cash flow  
we were able to pay down $11.8 million 
in absolute debt and fund dividend 

payments in the period of $18.1 million. 
We also supported a significant capital 
expenditure program of $8.2 million  
in FY2016 geared around improved 
patient management systems, new 
technologies and services for our 
patients and investment in upgrading 
and relocating clinic facilities.

A strong balance sheet improved further 
during FY16 with net debt to equity ratio  
of 55.9% at 30 June 2016 versus the prior 
year at 67.2%. We have built balance sheet 
capacity to support strategic growth 
opportunities and currently have access  
to further debt of $60m.

In June 2016, we re-financed our 
Syndicated Debt Facility with a new 
$110m term debt facility and $5m 
working capital facility. In addition,  
a $40m accordion facility is available 
for strategic growth opportunities.  
The new Syndicated Debt Facility  
has a blended 3, 4 and 5 year  
maturity profile. 

All of our capital management metrics 
have improved on the prior year with 
significant headroom in all of our 
banking covenants. Our key leverage 
ratio was at 1.75 times, which improved 
from 2.14 times in the previous year. 
Our interest cover was strong at 11.8 
times, improved from 9.9 times in the 
previous year. In addition our key capital 
return metrics all improved on prior 
year with a 19.3% return on equity  
and a 10.1% return on assets for FY16.

The board declared a 4.5 cents fully 
franked FY2016 final dividend, bringing 
the total fully franked dividend in FY16 
to 8.5 cents per share, 22.3% growth 
on prior year and representing a 70% 
dividend payout ratio.

Group Medical Director’s Report

As the inaugural Group Medical Director 
for the Monash IVF Group of companies  
I am pleased to announce the progress  
we have made in improving and enhancing 
our medical processes and the sharing of 
expertise and innovation across the group. 

We have established two peak 
committees that will help us to maintain 
our scientific leadership and competitive 
edge in IVF and womens imaging. They 
will also assist with the cross pollination 
of best practice clinical protocols and 
innovation across the group.

The role of the Group Medical 
Advisory Committee (GMAC) is  
to ensure patients receive the best 
possible personalised care through 
establishing and maintaining optimal 
clinical processes and procedures. 

The second key committee is the  
Group Medical Executive Committee 
(GMEC) which facilitates appropriate 
consultation and communication  
in relation to relevant commercial  
and operational matters with medical  
practitioners across the Group.

We’ve already made great inroads into  
a number of areas. A framework for 
succession planning is well advanced 
to develop career pathways for younger 
doctors and scientists. This will ensure 
suitable transitional arrangements  
and career/professional advancement 
opportunities are available across  
the Group. We expect this will further 
strengthen Monash IVF Group’s 
position as the employer of choice  
in fertility services. 

The Group’s live birth rates – the 
critical outcome by which our industry 
gets measured – remain amongst the 
best internationally and continue to 
improve across all age cohorts. We  
are very proud of our ability to translate 
new scientific developments and 
innovations efficiently and effectively 
into our daily work practices to give 
our patients access to cutting-edge 
fertility care. 

We are fortunate that much of the 
research that drives our clinical innovation 
is generated by leading investigators 
within the Monash IVF Group.

As a group of companies with more 
than 500 laboratory and medical staff 
we have been able to develop strong 
mechanisms to disseminate clinical best 
practice across the group. This has a 
few elements including disseminating 
the latest research – both internally and 
from around the world. We also review 
the most difficult cases internally to see 
whether there are common themes or 
whether other group members can 
contribute their expertise.

Our capability to provide crucial services 
in womens imaging has also greatly 
strengthened with a rapidly growing team 
of clinicians and technicians highly skilled 
in ultrasound scanning of the infertile and 
pregnant woman. Their services have 
recently expanded to include screening 
for early onset preeclampsia, a severe 
complication of pregnancy. In addition, 
non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) will 
now be offered through a fast and 
high-quality in-house service allowing 
expecting mothers to have their first 
trimester pregnancies to be genetically 
screened in a safe and affordable way.

We are proud of all these outcomes 
that come as a result of the synergies 
that exist between our research teams, 
scientists and clinical staff and we look 
forward to further contributing to the 
industry with “excellence in science 
and care”.

Scientific Directors’ Report

Over the past 12 months the genetic 
screening program at Monash IVF  
Group has expanded rapidly, with the 
introduction of new technologies and  
an increase in patient volumes. 

doctors are now referring all patients 
for genetic screening irrespective of 
age or reproductive history. Today, one  
in five patients is availing themselves of  
this cutting-edge screening technology.

Our Preimplantation Genetic Screening 
(PGS) program has become an 
increasingly popular treatment option 
with patients. The PGS program 
involves screening IVF embryos  
for chromosome abnormalities 
associated with implantation failure, 
miscarriage or abnormalities at birth 
(eg: Down syndrome). 

Genetic screening is a reproductive 
option available to couples at risk  
of passing a chromosome abnormality 
or single gene disorder on to their child. 
Genetic screening involves screening 
IVF generated embryos for genetic 
conditions prior to embryo transfer, with 
only unaffected embryos transferred  
to the uterus. This testing helps ensure 
the embryo that is selected for transfer 
has the best possible chance of 
developing into a healthy baby. 

Only embryos which are found to have 
the correct number of chromosomes –  
and therefore the greatest potential  
to result in a healthy live birth – are 
selected for transfer. Research trials 
have demonstrated this technology 
has the capacity to significantly improve 
clinical outcomes for patients. 

While initially targeted at patients older 
than 36 or patients with recurrent IVF 
failure or miscarriage, many of our IVF 

Monash IVF Group has offered  
genetic screening since 1994 and  
is one of the few centres in Australia 
that specialises in this area of 
reproductive medicine. Our highly 
specialised in-house genetics team  
is responsible for providing genetic 
screening services not only to our  
own patients, but also to patients 
undergoing IVF cycles at numerous 
external IVF clinics throughout 
Australia and New Zealand. 

Significant milestones have also  
been achieved in our Preimplantation 
Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) program, 
with our genetic scientists being the 
first in the world (outside the beta  
test sites) to be trained in a new PGD  
technology called Karyomapping.

Karyomapping is suitable for patients  
at risk of passing a single gene disorder 
(eg: Cystic Fibrosis) on to their child, 
and is used to distinguish between 
affected and unaffected embryos. 
Only embryos which are found to be 
unaffected for the condition of interest 
are selected for transfer to the uterus.

Karyomapping offers several 
significant benefits over previous  
PGD technologies, including  
a significantly reduced turnaround  
time for test development/validation, 

as well as the capacity to detect  
some chromosome abnormalities 
associated with implantation failure, 
miscarriage, or abnormalities at birth.

Alongside the clinical genetics 
program, our genetic scientists have 
been involved in numerous research 
studies aimed at improving our existing  
genetics program. Our scientists have 
also been actively involved in national 
and international conferences, with  
the aim of ensuring that Monash IVF 
Group continues to offer the highest 
quality of care to our patients.

Monash IVF Group  
Research and Education

FY16 has been an excellent year for scientific and clinical 
research achievement across the Monash IVF Group, made 
possible by the enthusiastic and innovative contributions  
from our clinical, embryological and medical imaging staff. 

The Monash IVF Group has been  
a leader in ART practice and research  
in Australia for four decades and  
is committed to maintaining its 
preeminent role in the field through  
the Monash IVF Group Research  
and Education Foundation (MREF).  
Its membership includes representatives 
from our Queensland, NSW, Victoria, 
and Adelaide programs, the latter  
two with longstanding and deep 
connections with research and 
teaching at Monash and Adelaide 
Universities, respectively. The rapid 
growth of our medical imaging 
programs in Victoria and NSW,  
with their strong culture of research, 
adds an important dimension to our 
ability to undertake clinical research  
in womens’ health. The MREF  
network of academic and clinical 
leaders establishes the Monash IVF 
Group as a leader in fertility and 
reproductive research.

The goal of MREF is to provide a solid 
evidence-base for safe and effective 
novel treatments that lead to greater 
chances of a healthy pregnancy.  
This translation of ‘knowledge  
into treatment’ is based on both 
fundamental science and strong 
clinical interaction. Our collaborative 
associations with the Hudson Institute 
of Medical Research, and Monash  
and Adelaide Universities facilitate 
these endeavors and many members 
of MREF share joint appointments  
at these internationally recognized 
research institutions. Our success  
is evident from the research papers 
and presentations for the last year  
and our future research directions,  
as outlined in the current MREF 2015  
Annual Report that can be found on 
the Monash IVF Group website.

FY16 saw initiatives focused on 
continued research to improve the 
understanding of embryo-endometrial 
interactions, the genetics of infertility 
and early embryonic development. 
Other work continues in fertility 
preservation, stem cells in the uterine 
lining and the roles of infectious agents 
in causing infertility. We also undertook 
the first ever randomized placebo-
controlled trial of melatonin, a potent 
antioxidant. This research will report  
in late 2016. 

The Repromed group focused on 
developing novel medical devices  
for clinical application. These projects 
were funded by joint NHMRC grants 
awarded to Professor Michelle Lane 
and Dr Deirdre Zander-Fox, and in 
collaboration with the University of 
Adelaide, have resulted in the creation 
of patents and IP for novel methods  
of culturing human embryos as well  
as non-invasive markers for embryo 
selection. Repromed also has a strong  
focus on clinical trials, such as the 
multi centre trial ‘LIGHT’ study on the 
efficacy of growth hormone, as well  
as low dose stimulation protocols  
and the impact of obesity on fertility. 
Professor Kelton Tremellen continues 
his novel research into the impact  
of chronic inflammation and obesity  
on the gut ‘microbiome’ on fertility  
and IVF success rates.

Across the Monash IVF Group, 
nurturing of young scientists and 
clinicians as future academic leaders  
is a priority. In collaboration with the 
Robinson Institute and The Gamete 
and Embryology Laboratory (headed 
by Professor Michelle Lane), Repromed 
focuses on supporting post graduate 
student research through scholarship 
support, internships and clinical 
research projects.

The Monash IVF Group’s longstanding 
partnership with Monash University’s 
Education Program in Reproduction 
and Development (EPRD), and the 
teaching at the University of Adelaide,  
are providing Graduate and Masters 
qualifications in reproductive science 
and embryology and are thereby 
addressing the national workforce 
needs in reproductive medicine.  
This helps ensure that embryology  
and related staff working in ART clinics 
and fertility services are provided with 
up-to-date knowledge and skills. These 
activities have resulted in multiple 
prestigious publications, presentations 
at national and international fertility 
conferences, as well as awards for 
research excellence.

The Clinical Observership program 
allows overseas clinicians to observe 
procedures at Monash IVF and  
to attend various specialist centres 
around Melbourne, along with access 
to Monash University facilities and 
EPRD’s lab facilities. This program  
has an international reputation and  
in FY16 facilitated the tailored training 
programs to clinical specialists from 
Indonesia and India.

The Group’s ultrasound group has  
a very active research agenda aimed 
at improving clinical care. Sydney and 
Monash Ultrasound for Women are 
undertaking a large joint study in  
Non Invasive Prenatal Testing in the  
ART population while other studies  

involve monitoring the health of ART 
pregnancies and exploring women’s 
experience of a prenatal diagnosis  
of fetal abnormality. 

Our presence at international meetings 
in FY16 continues to be strong and 
included presentations by Professor 
Luk Rombauts and myself at the 6th 
Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative 
on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in Jakarta 
April 2016, Professor Kelton Tremellen 
at British Association of Clinical 
Embryologists meeting in Newcastle, 
UK and Dr Deirdre Zander-Fox at the 
2015 PGDIS in Chicago.

Numerous publications across 2015 are 
listed in the full report and speak to the 
quality of research output from Monash 
IVF Group scientists and researchers. 
We congratulate Associate Professor 
Fabricio Costa on the recent awarding 
of a prestigious RANZCOG Scholarship 
to support a new research program on 
the relationship between uterine lining 
and IVF success. We also congratulate 
our Adelaide team for the awarding  
of the best papers for the ‘Established’ 
Leanne Pacella Ince and ‘Young’ 
scientists Helana Shedadeh at the 
national Scientists in Reproductive 
Technology (SIRT) meeting in May 2016, 
for work in the areas of genetic 
diagnosis of embryos and sperm DNA  
quality, respectively, and Professor 
Lane who was a finalist in South 
Australian Scientist of the year. 

We are proud of the Monash IVF 
Group’s research and educational 
reputation and we strive to maintain 
exceptional standards in research.  
We also acknowledge the extent to 
which our industry partners support 
the work of MREF through a number 
of independent research grants.

Monash IVF Group pregnancy rates 
remain amongst the best internationally, 
driven by our strong commitment to 
evidence based scientific protocols 
and research. We remain committed 
to the belief that excellence in science 
has its roots in understanding the 
basic biology and the collection of 
clinical evidence of safe and efficacy  
of new approaches to assist the 
infertile couple.

Directors’ Report continued

The following details key movements in revenue:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Market Growth: $5.8m or 4.6% revenue growth due to overall ARS market growth experienced in all Australian states 
MVF operates in. For the twelve month period to 30 June 2016, Patient Treatments in Australia increased by 8.2% 
reflecting a reversion to long-term market trend growth rates of 4.1%. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Market Share: $3.4m or 2.7% revenue growth as a result of ARS market share growth in Australia. Australian Fresh 

cycle market share(1) was up 1.3% derived from MVF’s largest markets (Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales). 
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) market share was up 1.2% derived from growth in New South Wales, Queensland and 
South Australia, partly offset by some minor FET market share loss in Victoria as competitors catch up to MVF’s  
clinical practice.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Minimal change in Patient Treatment mix: Fresh cycles % of total Patient Treatments marginally reduced to 61.3% as 
compared to 61.6% in FY15. This marginal shift is due to stabilisation of “freeze all” clinical practice changes and strong 
growth in Frozen Embryo Transfers at MVF’s lower intervention clinics as both BUMP and MyIVF mature with existing 
patients accessing their available cryopreserved embryos.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Price: IVF Revenue per Patient Treatment was stable with price increases and additional PGS/D revenue offset by 

growth in low intervention IVF services. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Acquisitions: $18.3m or 14.6% revenue growth from full year impact from Sydney Ultrasound for Women (acquired in 
June 2015) and Fertility East (re-branded to Monash IVF Bondi Junction and acquired in December 2014) acquisitions. 

(cid:115)(cid:0)

International: $0.6m or 10.7% revenue growth in the International segment from KL Fertility & Gynaecological Centre. 
The growth is attributable to a 7.1% increase in Fresh cycle activity which was partly offset by unfavourable foreign 
exchange variances due to weakness in the MYR against the AUD. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Other revenue: $2.2m revenue growth largely derived from related ARS services (predominately PGS and NIPT).

Patient Treatments continued

IVF Patient Treatments grew by 2,040 or 12.9% to 17,901 with 12.4% growth in Australia and 19.4% growth in International. 
Australian Fresh cycles grew by 12.3% with 1.6% of the growth derived from the full year impact of the Monash IVF Bondi 
Junction acquisition in 2015. 

International fresh cycles increased by 10.3% reflecting growth from new doctor activity notwithstanding general economic 
weakness in the Malaysian market. International Frozen Embryo Transfers increased by 135 or 33.4% as the penetration  
of freeze all cycles increases from change of scientific protocol. 

Ultrasound scan volumes increased by 230.5% as compared to FY15 as a result of the Sydney Ultrasound for Women 
acquisition. Pre-implantation Genetic Screening/Diagnosis (PGS/D) and Non Invasive Prenatal Testing continues to grow 
with improvements in this technology resulting in 73.6% and 352.9% growth respectively.

The following details key expenditure movements in FY16 against FY15:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Employee benefits expense increased by $11.8m or 34.8%. Of the increase, 21.3% is due to full year impact from 
FY15 acquisitions, 2.6% increase for management incentives, 2-3% average annual wage increases, head count 
investment made in scientific services and additional labour costs reflecting ARS activity increases;

(cid:115)(cid:0) Clinician fees increased by $6.0m or 31.4%. Of the increase, 20.9% is due to full year impact from FY15 acquisitions 

whilst the remaining increase is derived from higher ARS activity and commensurate with revenue growth;

(cid:115)(cid:0) Raw material and consumables largely increased in line with ARS revenue growth;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Marketing and advertising expense increased by $0.3m or 7.1% as greater investment was made into targeted 

branded marketing initiatives in Key Markets and New South Wales;

(cid:115)(cid:0) Property expenses increased by $1.6m or 25.3% which is primarily due to the impact from acquisitions;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Professional and other fees increased by $1.0m or 50.0% due to higher legal and consulting services; 
(cid:115)(cid:0) Other fixed costs increased by $1.1m or 42.3% due to acquisitions and increased ARS activity commensurate  

with revenue growth;

(cid:115)(cid:0) Depreciation and amortisation increased by $0.8m or 23.5% largely due to additional depreciation from SUFW, 

Monash IVF Bondi Junction and growth assets acquired.

Invest in life

Directors’ Report continued

EBITDA growth of 27.6% whilst margins improved to 31.7% due to:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Benefits of cost base leverage as we experienced strong ARS volume growth;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Effective cost management; and 

(cid:115)(cid:0)

Impact of non-recurring start up and acquisition costs in FY15.

The EBITDA margin improvement was partially offset by the following:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Anticipated margin dilution due to Sydney Ultrasound for Women acquisition;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Low intervention ARS growth at lower than average margins; and

(cid:115)(cid:0)

Increase in provisions for management and fertility specialist incentives.

Net interest expense

The average debt levels during FY16 were higher than FY15, however interest expense is consistent with FY15 due to a lower 
cost of debt during the year.

Taxation

The effective tax rate has reduced to 29.1% compared to 30.3% in FY15 after recognition of research and development 
incentives available during the year and a reduction in the Malaysian corporate tax rate from 25% to 24%.

Sydney Ultrasound for Women (SUFW) acquisition

In June 2015, the Group acquired Sydney Ultrasound for Women, a network of specialised women’s imaging clinics in 
Sydney, New South Wales. FY16 revenue contribution from SUFW was $17.7m (reflecting 13.6% of Group revenues) and 
EBITDA contribution was $4.0m. In combination with the existing Monash Ultrasound for Women clinics in Melbourne, 
specialised women’s imaging services now contribute 16.4% of Group overall revenues, providing greater diversification of 
earnings. A key benefit of the acquisition is synergies that will be derived from operating a broader women’s imaging service.

Operational and Financial Review continued
Business strategies and prospects for future financial years

The Group’s strategy remains consistent and focused, to profitably grow our business through leveraging our scientific 
capabilities and scale across the clinic network both domestically and internationally. The key initiatives to deliver the 
profitable growth are outlined below:

Science, technology and patient success

The Group is responsible for significant industry advancements and this success and innovation continues to drive a 
culture of excellence and passion throughout the Group’s network of clinicians and scientists. This ethos and capability 
enables the Group to continue to develop industry leading science and technology, deliver clinically superior services to 
existing and future patients and increase market penetration. The Group will continue to invest and expand its range of 
services offered to patients whilst improving its scientific and clinical practices. Additionally, the Group is focussed on 
investing in its people through development opportunities and training programs. 

To enhance medical and commercial engagement across the growing network, two new peak doctor committees were 
formed during FY16. The Group Medical Advisory Committee (GMAC) was established to identify and promulgate best  
in breed clinical processes and the Group Medical Executive Committee (GMEC) was established to engage doctors in 
commercial decision making across the Group. These initiatives are expected to derive greater collaboration across the 
vast network and large group of specialists to ultimately aid scientific progress and sharing. 

During 2016, the Monash IVF Group Research and Education Foundation (MREF) combined its activities with the research 
team at Repromed and the University of Adelaide, to strengthen the research potential and capability across the Group. 
The alignment of the Group’s world leading research teams reinforces and solidifies Monash IVF Group as a leader in 
scientific and clinical innovation driven by a philosophy of excellence in science. 

Clinic expansion and acquisitions

The Group continues to identify and assess opportunities for clinic expansion both domestically and internationally.  
These opportunities are geared to increase the Group’s scale and market position in women’s health, including ARS  
and imaging services. 

The Group is experiencing strong growth in Malaysia and subject to meeting our investment criteria, we are looking to build 
our international business, particularly in the Asian region, in the forthcoming years. The Group remains open to expansion 
through complementary and adjacent opportunities in the broader women’s health sector. 

Lower intervention 

The Group strategically positions the ARS lower intervention offering as a complementary service to its larger full service 
business. Both MyIVF in Brisbane and BUMP IVF in Sydney are ramping up and are now making an improved contribution 
to Group earnings. The Group is focussed on refining its lower intervention model and may consider expansion into suitable 
locations. Lower intervention currently reflects 5.6% of total ARS Patient Treatments across the Group and strategically,  
the Group expects lower intervention Patient Treatments to represent less than 10% of total Patient Treatments. 

Business risks

The Monash IVF Group continually considers the benefits of implementing a risk management framework, all of which 
contributes to the increased likelihood that the Group will be able to achieve its organisational objectives. Accordingly,  
the Group has developed a risk management framework and has implemented systematic processes to:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Better identify opportunities and threats;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Prevention of potential risks from being realised;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Reduction of the element of chance;

Increased accountability and transparency for decisions;

(cid:115)(cid:0)
(cid:115)(cid:0) More effective allocation and use of resources;

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

Improved incident management and reduction in loss and the cost of risk;

Improved stakeholder confidence and trust;

Improved compliance with relevant legislation and accreditation processes;

(cid:115)(cid:0)
(cid:115)(cid:0) Proactive rather than reactive management; and
(cid:115)(cid:0) Enhanced governance.

26

Invest in life

Directors’ Report continued

The risk management framework together with the risk assessments and mitigation strategies are regularly reviewed both 
individually and collectively by the Senior Management Committee, the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the 
Board. A simple prioritisation system has been adopted to scale the relative importance of all the identified risks.

From review of the Group’s key business, operational and financial risks, processes are in-place to reduce the inherent 
nature of these risks to an acceptable and manageable level. As a result, the Group does not have any ‘high’ priority residual 
risks. Notwithstanding this, the Group considers the below as important risks that will need continued management to 
ensure the Group meets its objectives:

Change in Government funding arrangements for Assisted Reproductive Services

There is a risk that the Commonwealth Government will change the funding (including levels, conditions or eligibility 
requirements) it provides for Assisted Reproductive Services (ARS). Patients receive partial re-imbursement for ARS 
treatment through Commonwealth Government Programs, including the Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) and Extended 
Medicare Safety Net (EMSN). If the level of re-imbursement were to be reduced or capped, patients would face higher 
out-of-pocket expenses for ARS potentially reducing the demand for services provided by the Group. The Group is not 
aware of any changes to Commonwealth Government funding for ARS in the short to medium term. 

Risk of increased competition

In each of the markets the Group operates in, there is a risk that:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Existing competitors may undertake aggressive marketing campaigns, product innovation or price discounting;
(cid:115)(cid:0) New competitors may launch fertility treatments, including ARS; and
(cid:115)(cid:0) Low cost offerings provided by competitors, reducing the Group’s market share.
The Group closely monitors competitor activity and is in a position to respond to any adverse actions by existing or new 
competitors. The Group is focussed on enhancing its premium offering which includes:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Quality of science and breadth of service offerings;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Reputation and availability of doctors;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Best-of-breed scientists and embryologists;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Location and accessibility of fertility clinics;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Strong sales and marketing capability; and
(cid:115)(cid:0) Strength of brand.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 

On 26 August 2016, a fully franked final dividend of 4.5 cents per share was declared. The record date for the dividend  
is 7 September 2016 and the payment date for the dividend is 14 October 2016.

Except as disclosed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this 
report any item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company,  
to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group,  
in future financial periods.

Environmental regulations

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulations under Commonwealth or State legislation.

Directors’ Report continued

Remuneration Report – Audited

The Company’s Directors present the 2016 Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with Section 300A of the 
Corporations Act 2001, for the Company and the Group for the year ending 30 June 2016 (“FY16”). The information 
provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited by KPMG as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations  
Act 2001. The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report.

The Remuneration Report outlines the remuneration strategies and arrangements for the Key Management Personnel 
(KMP), who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Monash IVF.

Introduction

The Board varies rewards to Management in accordance with short and longer term financial and clinical performance. 
Because fixed remuneration sits at or below industry benchmarks, a higher proportion of remuneration is at risk relative  
to industry peers. The reward framework encourages a strategy of driving existing Monash clinic performance improvement 
as well as judicious merger and acquisition to expand Monash’s footprint domestically and internationally. 

As indicated last year, a revised rolling annual Long Term Incentive (LTI) grant was introduced in 2016. CEO share right 
grants for the 2016 LTI remain subject to shareholder approval. 

The executive LTI grant has two tranches with each subject to an independent measure of performance. Half the grant  
will be subject to EPS compound annual growth over 3 years. The other half of the grant is subject to total shareholder  
return relative to the ASX 300 Healthcare Accumulation Index. Vesting for both performance requirements is graduated,  
with 20% vesting on reaching threshold performance, 100% vesting on reaching maximum performance, and pro rata  
vesting in between.

In FY16, our second year as a publicly listed company, we have grown our market presence and share whilst integrating  
and capturing the financial benefits of acquisitions executed in FY15, which contributed to a net profit after tax growth  
in FY16 of 34.6% versus the prior year.

Given the financial performance and achievement of qualitative measures, realised remuneration in FY16 includes base  
pay and an STI payment. The quantitative tranche of the STI grant was dependent on the achievement of target EBITDA. 
Given this target was met and there were substantial achievements in non-financial areas, the Board awarded full or partial  
STI payments to management. No LTI vested, as a performance test on the first grant is not due until FY2017.

The remainder of this report outlines the Company’s policy and practice in greater detail. 

1.0  Remuneration Snapshot

1.1  Remuneration Governance

The Board is ultimately responsible for remuneration decisions. To assist the Board’s governance and oversight of 
remuneration, this is delegated to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (Committee). Under the Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee charter, it must have at least three members, the majority of whom (including the Chair) must  
be independent Directors and all of whom must be non-executive Directors. The Committee is composed of the three 
independent directors and is chaired by Ms Christina Boyce. Ms Boyce was appointed Chair of the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee on 4 June 2014. Mr Davis and Mr Czyzewski were appointed on 4 June 2014. During FY16,  
the Remuneration and Nomination Committee met five times with full attendance by all members. The Remuneration  
and Nomination Committee may invite the CEO and CFO/Company Secretary to attend Committee meetings to assist  
in deliberations (excluding matters relating to their own employment).

2.0  Remuneration Policy

2.1 Executive remuneration policy

For the majority of senior executives, total remuneration consists of:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Fixed annual remuneration including base pay, superannuation and leave entitlements
(cid:115)(cid:0) Short term incentives
(cid:115)(cid:0) Long term incentives.

The Group’s remuneration framework for FY16 for the CEO and CFO has three components, two of which vary with 
performance. TFR levels sit at or below industry benchmarks. A higher proportion of remuneration is at risk relative  
to peers. The remuneration structure is designed so that there is a remuneration opportunity that varies with the level  
of position accountability.

The diagram below summarises the framework for FY16. The framework will be reviewed each year.

TFR is determined on the basis 
of market rates (where 
applicable) and the size and 
complexity of the role and the 
individual’s skill and experience 
relative to position requirements.

TFR is at or below median  
for companies of similar size.

Comprise of share rights  
which vest in accord with  
3 year EPS growth and  
relative TSR above a threshold 
performance requirement.

Total fixed remuneration (TFR) consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis) as well  
as non-monetary benefits and superannuation. 

TFR levels are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee through a process that considers market 
rates and individual experience in the position. TFR is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed increases  
in base pay or superannuation included in executive contracts. 

KMP TFR sits at or below median for companies of similar size.

Executive KMP are eligible to receive an STI payment.

The Group’s STI is an incentive to focus on board prioritised requirements for the financial year. It focuses on a financial 
measure for up to 50% of the maximum payable, and key non-financial measures for the other 50%. 

The financial measure is Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA). EBITDA is normalised and 
compared to budget EBITDA to assess achievement. EBITDA may be normalised by adjustment for any amounts in respect 
of the period for individually significant, non-recurring, abnormal or unusual gains or losses of the Group, whether realised 
or unrealised. The amount allocated for EBITDA achievement is 50% of the maximum STI. Threshold performance is 95% 
of budget which is broadly in line with analyst consensus post the FY2015 result announcement. At this level, 25% of the 
amount allocated for EBITDA achievement is payable. Maximum EBITDA performance is set at 100% or more of a stretch 
budget, at which the entire amount allocated for EBITDA is payable. Achievement between these two levels of performance 
results in a pro-rata payment of STI.

Non-financial measures focus management on market share, business efficiency, clinical outcomes, doctor relationships, 
risk management (including occupational health and safety) and team development. KMP executives had 9 non-financial 
objectives. Each has a weighting which sum to 50% of the maximum STI. Achievement of a non-financial objective is binary, 
that is, it is either achieved or not achieved. The amount of STI paid for the non-financial objectives is the sum of weightings  
for the objectives achieved.

The Board retains the right to exercise negative discretion on Non-Financial KPI achievement if Financial KPIs are not 
achieved. This was exercised in FY15. STI is paid in cash after annual results have been audited.

Long-term incentive plan

Executive KMP are eligible to receive an LTI grant. Fertility Specialists are eligible to participate in the Fertility Specialist LTI.

Mr James Thiedeman (CEO) and the CFO are eligible to participate in the Senior Executive LTI Plan. Professor Michelle Lane, 
(COO) became eligible in FY16, however as a result of her ceasing as a KMP on 16 November 2015, post re-organisation 
of management structure resulting in Professor Lane’s appointment as Regional Manager – NSW, SA & NT, she is no 
longer eligible to participate in the Senior Executive Plan. Dr. Richard Henshaw, an Executive Director, will not be eligible to 
participate in the Fertility Specialist LTI given he does not meet the eligibility criteria of being a fee for service fertility specialist.

Grants under both Plans are subject to the following conditions:

(cid:115)(cid:0) The invitations issued to eligible persons will include information such as award conditions and, upon acceptance  
of an invitation, the Directors will grant awards in the name of the eligible person. Awards may not be transferred,  
assigned or otherwise dealt with except with the approval of the Directors.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Awards will only vest where the conditions advised to the participant by the Directors have been satisfied. An unvested 
award will lapse in a number of circumstances, including where conditions are not satisfied within the relevant time 
period, or in the opinion of the Directors, a participant has committed an act of fraud or misconduct or gross dereliction 
of duty. If a participant’s engagement with the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) terminates before an award has 
vested, the Directors may determine the extent to which the unvested awards that have not lapsed will become vested  
awards or, if the award offer does not so provide and the Board does not decide otherwise, the unvested awards will 
automatically lapse.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Awards are subject to malus and clawback conditions whereby the Board may, in its discretion, and subject to applicable 
laws, determine the performance rights or shares already allocated following the vesting or exercise of a performance 
right are forfeited, recovered or the conditions modified. The Board’s decision in regards to unfair benefits obtained  
by the participant is final and binding. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Where there is a takeover bid or a scheme of arrangement proposed in relation to the Company, the Directors may 
determine that the participant’s unvested awards will become vested awards. In such circumstances, the Directors 
shall promptly notify each participant in writing that the awards have become vested awards, or that he or she may, 
within the time period specified in the notice and where applicable in accordance with the class or category of award, 
exercise such vested awards. A participant is not entitled to participate, in their capacity as holder of awards, in any 
new issue of shares in the Company, nor in any return of capital, buyback or other distribution or payment to shareholders, 
unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of a bonus issue or rights issue, the rights of the award will be 
altered in a manner (if any) determined by the Board, consistent with the ASX Listing Rules.

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

In the event of any reorganisation of the issued ordinary capital of the Company before the exercise of an award, the 
number of shares attached to each award will be reorganised in the manner specified in the LTI plan and in accordance  
with the ASX Listing Rules or, if the manner is not specified, the Board will determine the reorganisation. 

In any event, the reorganisation will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on participants which are not  
conferred on shareholders of the Company. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Participants who hold an award issued pursuant to the LTI plan have no rights to vote any shares under the LTI award 
at meetings of the Company until that award has vested (and is exercised, if applicable) and the participant is the holder 
of a valid share in the Company. Shares acquired upon vesting of the award will, upon issue, rank equally in all respects  
with other shares.

(cid:115)(cid:0) No award or share may be offered under the LTI plan if to do so would contravene the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing 

Rules or instruments of relief issued by ASIC from time to time.

The TSR component of the allocation will be measured

performance. 20% will vest at threshold performance 
when TSR equals Index returns, 100% vest at maximum 
performance if TSR equals Index returns +5% on  
an annualised basis, with pro rate vesting between 
threshold and maximum.

The EPS component of the allocation will be measured

EPS threshold performance is 10% per annum over 
the 3 year period

Senior Executive LTI Grant – FY16

The LTI plan is a performance rights plan with vesting rights dependent upon the satisfaction of pre-defined performance 
hurdles and continuous employment. As indicated in the last remuneration report, LTI grants will be issued on a rolling annual 
basis. This ensures executives maintain a continuous focus on sustainable long term growth and returns, and provides  
an appropriate balance to the focus on annual results demanded by the STI.

The performance period for these rights is 3 years from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018. The executives did not pay any 
money to be granted those performance rights. The expiry date of the rights will be on the fifth anniversary of their grant.  
The performance rights will be delivered as share rights with disposal restrictions. 

The CEO and CFO were granted 163,425 and 70,144 performance rights respectively. However, the CEO grant remains  
subject to, and is conditional upon, shareholder approval at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. 

Current performance hurdles are based on achievement of pre-defined EPS Hurdles and a TSR Hurdle over a three year 
performance period. The performance hurdles for each tranche of performance rights are independent, and it is possible 
for one tranche to vest even if the other does not. In each case, the performance hurdles will only be measured once and 
there will be no retesting. No value will be received if the performance hurdles are not met and the rights do not vest.

The Senior Executive performance rights granted include terms which provide that, on vesting, each performance right  
is exercisable into one share (subject to adjustments in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules for certain capital actions). 
These performance rights were granted in two tranches, with each tranche subject to separate vesting conditions based 
upon external measures as follows:

Earnings Per Share. The hurdle for 50% of the rights is based on an earnings per share hurdle which measures the 
compound growth of the Company’s basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) over a three year period from 1 July 2015 to  
30 June 2018. Basic EPS is subject to audit applying the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 133.  
The base EPS is the FY2015 EPS of 9.2c. No vesting occurs up to a threshold level of EPS growth of 10% per annum. 
Twenty percent will vest at threshold performance, 100% will vest at maximum performance, with pro rata vesting  
between threshold and maximum. 

The target and threshold hurdle are set with reference to the Board’s expectations of long term growth and the forward 
market consensus. In FY16 EPS performance requirements were set to encourage executive KMP’s in the undertaking  
of judicious merger and acquisition to expand Monash’s footprint domestically and internationally. Further details of EPS 
growth requirements and the proportion of the grants that vest (if any) will be disclosed in FY2019.

Senior Executive LTI Grant – FY16 continued

Relative Total Shareholder Return. The hurdle for the other 50% of the rights is based on the Company’s total 
shareholder return (‘TSR’) relative to the ASX300 Healthcare Accumulation Index (Index) from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018. 
In respect of this tranche, no performance rights will vest if the TSR performance is less than the Index performance. 
Twenty percent will vest at threshold performance when TSR equals Index returns, 100% vest at maximum performance 
if TSR equals Index returns +5% on an annualised basis, with pro rata vesting between threshold and maximum.  
TSR is calculated based on the closing share price, adjusted for dividends and capital movements, as at the start  
of the performance period and the end of the performance period. In FY16 the Board has redefined the TSR reference 
peer group to the Index as it is considered a more transparent and readily available measure, whilst including an 
increased range of companies with similar business characteristics to the Company. 

The graduated vesting scale in the senior executive LTI plan was designed to minimise the likelihood of excessive risk 
taking as a performance threshold is approached. 

The Board believes this vesting framework strengthens the performance link over the long-term and accordingly encourages 
executives to focus on long-term performance. The Board also acknowledges that the value of certain strategic initiatives 
may take several years to deliver.
Prior year legacy Senior Executive LTI Grant – FY15

Options were granted to the CEO and the former CFO on 30 July 2014. The key terms and conditions attached to that grant  
of options are set out below:

These options were granted in two tranches, with each tranche subject to separate vesting conditions based upon external 
measures as follows:

Earnings Per Share. The hurdle for 50% of the options is based on an earnings per share hurdle which measures the 
compound growth in the Company’s earnings per share (‘EPS’) growth over a three year period. No vesting occurs up  
to a threshold level of EPS growth of 8% per annum and then vests directly proportionally between the threshold and  
a maximum specified performance requirement. Further details of EPS growth requirements and the proportion of the  
grants that vest (if any) will be disclosed in FY2018.

Relative Total Shareholder Return. The hurdle for the other 50% of the options is based on the Company’s total 
shareholder return (‘TSR’) relative to a peer group of ASX listed companies determined by the Board over the three  
year performance period. In respect of this tranche, no options will vest if the TSR performance is less than the  
50th percentile, 50% will vest at median (i.e. the 50th percentile). TSR performance and vesting thereafter will  
be determined on a straight line scale, with 100% vesting if the TSR performance is greater than or equal to the  
75th percentile. TSR growth is calculated based on the closing share price, adjusted for dividends and capital 
movements, as at the start of the performance period and the end of the performance period. 

The performance hurdles for each tranche of options are independent, and it is possible for one tranche to vest even if the 
other does not. In each case, the performance hurdles will only be measured once and there will be no retesting. The expiry 
date of the options will be on the fifth anniversary of their grant. The options will be delivered as share rights with associated 
disposal restrictions. No value will be received if the performance hurdles are not met and the options do not vest. 

Given the departure of the former CFO early in FY16, his options were forfeited.

Doctors LTI programme

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee implemented an LTI plan for Fertility Specialists, including those considered 
KMP executives, in FY2016. The plan was developed to recognise and reward the ongoing contribution from our clinicians. 
Dr. Richard Henshaw, an Executive Director, will not be eligible to participate in the Fertility Specialist LTI given he does not 
meet the eligibility criteria of being a fee for service fertility specialist.

The Doctors LTI has two tranches subject to independent performance requirements: 

1.  A Practice Development Award; and 

2.  A Key Doctor Award 

Participation is subject to a number of qualitative criteria aligned with the patient experience and clinical excellence.  
Both tranches also require growth in the number of Fresh Cycles(1) above a threshold requirement.

The Practice Development Award recognises the consistent development of a fertility specialist’s practice at above industry 
growth rates. The Practice Development Award is calculated based on the annual average number of “Growth Cycles” they 
perform in year 1 and maintain over the subsequent two years. Growth Cycles reflect growth over and above the long term 
industry average. The payment will be paid in the form of 50% cash and 50% MVF shares. Any share allocated will be subject 
to escrow conditions applicable to current holdings (see section 4.1 in Financial Report). 

The Practice Development Award will vest on the final day of the Growth Maintenance Period being the 30 June 2018, 
subject to the eligible Doctor remaining contracted to MVF at the end of the vesting period which is when the number  
of Fresh Cycles have been audited after the close of FY2018. 

The Key Doctor Award recognises the significant contribution of key fee-for-service fertility specialists and their commitment 
to the development of Monash IVF. It is a reward and retention device. It is calculated based on the total number of Fresh 
Cycles achieved over a base level of 250 fresh cycles. The performance period is 4 years. The volume must be attained 
after the first year (FY2016), and be maintained for a further 3 years (FY2017 – FY2019). 

The Award Payment will be paid in the form of 50% cash and 50% MVF shares. The Board has the discretion to decide  
to pay the total Award Payment as cash. Any share allocated will be subject to similar escrow conditions as current holdings 
(see section 4.1 in Financial Report). The Key Doctor Award will vest post the final day of the Growth Maintenance Period 
being the 30 June 2019, provided the eligible Doctor remains contracted to MVF at the end of the vesting period. 

2.2 Non-executive Director (NED) remuneration policy

Under the constitution, the Directors decide the total amount paid to all Directors as remuneration for their services  
as Directors. However, under the ASX Listing Rules, the total amount paid to all Directors for their services must not  
exceed in aggregate in any financial year, the amount fixed by the Company in a general meeting. This amount has  
been fixed by the Company at $750,000. For the 2016 financial year, the fees payable to the current NEDs are $420,000  
in aggregate.

encourages its Directors to build and maintain a shareholding in the Company to the value of at least one year of their  
total fixed remuneration. For existing NED’s the requirement to be compliant with the guideline is 3 years from the 2016  
annual general meeting, where as for new NED’s the requirement is 3 years from commencement on the Board.

(1  The EBITDA and Net Profit after Tax for 2014 is adjusted to add back costs associated with the IPO. EBITDA is a non IFRS measure.

(2)  The Net Profit after Tax, total shareholder return and earnings per share are not comparable for certain years due to the capital structure and 

discontinued operations. 

(3)  Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares during that year. In 2014 if the number of shares were based on shares on issue 

at year end, earnings per share would have been 1.1 cents per share.

(4)  STI payable is total KMP and Management bonuses approved for FY16 as compared to maximum incentive entitlement.

During the period, Revenue, EBITDA, NPAT, TSR and EPS were key performance measures. EBITDA is a major component 
of the STI plans for both the CEO and CFO whilst TSR and EPS are long term metrics used to measure the CEO and CFO’s 
remuneration via the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan. CEO and CFO remuneration varies with the outcomes of these 
measures above a required threshold performance level.

Directors’ Report continued

Insurance of officers

During or since the end of the year, the Group paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring each of the Directors of the  
Company, the Company Secretary and executives of the Company against liabilities that are permitted to be covered by 
Section 199B of the Corporations Act 2001. It is a condition of the insurance contract that the limit of indemnity, the nature 
of the liability and the amount of the premium is not disclosed.

Indemnification of officers

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Directors and Secretary of the Company, and its controlled entities against  
all liabilities to another person (other than the Company) that may arise from their position as Directors or Secretary,  
except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The agreement stipulates that the Company  
will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses.

Rounding off

The Company is of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 and in accordance with that legislative instrument, amounts in the Annual Financial Report are rounded off  
to the nearest thousand dollars, the Remuneration report is rounded off to the nearest dollar, and the Directors’ Report  
is rounded off to the nearest decimal of a million dollars, unless otherwise stated. 

Non-audit services

During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor has performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.  
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the  
provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the  
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

(cid:115)(cid:0) All non-audit services are subject to corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed 
by those charged with governance throughout the year to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 
auditor; and

(cid:115)(cid:0) The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to audit independence as set out  
in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s  
own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group  
or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details on audit and non-audit service fees paid or payable to the Company’s auditors during the year are disclosed  
in Section 6.5 of the Financial Report.

The Directors’ report is made out in accordance with a resolution of the directors:

Corporate Governance Statement

This statement, approved by the Board, reports on the Group’s key governance framework, principles and practices  
as at 30 June 2016. These principles and practices are subject to regular review and when necessary revised to reflect 
legislative changes or corporate governance best practice. 

The Board of Directors are committed to maintaining the Group’s pre-eminent status as a leader in the fields of Assisted 
Reproductive Services (ARS) and specialist women’s imaging. This commitment will lead to sustainable growth and 
shareholder returns. The Board is a strong advocate of good corporate governance and through its fulfilment of these 
practices and obligations will ensure shareholders are appropriately rewarded.

Monash IVF Group Ltd complies in all material respects with the third edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations released in 2014. The details of this compliance and reasons for 
any non compliance are set out in this statement. A separate Appendix 4G has been lodged with the Australian Securities 
Exchange Limited (ASX).

Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
1.1 Roles and responsibilities of the Board and Management and delegation

The role of the Board is to oversee good governance practice in all aspects of the Group’s undertakings. This includes 
setting and approving the strategic direction of the Group and to guide and monitor Monash IVF Group management  
and its businesses in achieving their strategic objectives. The Board is committed to maximising performance through 
continued investment in all aspects of the business including research, education and innovation in clinical services to 
improve patient outcomes. 

The Board is committed to a high standard of corporate governance practice and fosters a culture of compliance which 
values ethical behaviour, integrity, teamwork and respect for others.

The Monash IVF Group Ltd Board Charter outlines the role and responsibilities of the Board along with direction on Board 
composition, structure and membership requirements. The Charter clearly outlines matters expressly reserved for the 
Board’s determination and those matters delegated to Management. 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, James Thiedeman, has responsibility for day-to-day 
management of Monash IVF Group Ltd in its entirety. James is supported by a Senior Management Committee which  
is responsible for implementation of Board directed strategies at an operational level.

The Monash IVF Group Ltd Board Charter is available on the Monash IVF Group Ltd website  
http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 

1.2 and 1.3 Board and Senior Executive Appointments

In the event of a new appointment to a director or senior executive role, appropriate probity and integrity checks are 
undertaken to ensure the individual has an appropriate background to hold the role with Monash IVF Group Ltd. Should  
the role be for election of a director for the first time a comprehensive check of the candidates personal and professional 
history would occur including details of any other material directorships or non executive roles. There have been no new 
Directors appointed this year.

All Board members have a written agreement outlining the terms of their appointment clearly articulating the expectations, 
roles and responsibilities and remuneration of their role.

All employment agreements for senior executives clearly set out their terms of appointment, remuneration and requirements  
to adhere to company policies and procedures. Industry regulation requires police checks for employees and these are 
updated regularly. Employment contracts require employees to disclose any offences that would result in an adverse  
police check.

Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight continued 
1.5 Diversity Policy 

Monash IVF Group Ltd is a dynamic organisation that recognises its employees are its greatest asset. The Company’s 
workforce is made up of individuals with a diverse set of skills, values, experiences, backgrounds and attributes including 
those gained on account of their gender, age, disability, ethnicity, marital or family status, religious or cultural background 
and sexual orientation. 

Monash IVF Group Ltd is a relevant employer under the terms of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 and is compliant 
with the requirements of the Australian Government Workplace Gender Equality Agency. The breakdown of gender is listed in 
organisational list below:

Organisational Level

CEO and Directors

Senior Management

Team Leader

Total Staff (inc above)

Number of Women

% of Women

1

6

12

601

17%

40%

80%

92%

The Board recognises the high proportion of women in the workplace and feels that this gender diversity is appropriate 
given the nature of the business. Senior Management is defined as Key Management Personnel plus the next level of 
management being primarily State general managers.

Monash IVF Group Ltd has in place a Flexible Work Arrangements Policy to promote work/life balance and to accommodate 
family care in line with operational requirements of the business. During FY16, 34 staff utilised the Group’s generous parental 
leave options. Flexible hour working arrangements either under formal or informal agreements are widely used across the 
Monash IVF Group. 

The workplace Diversity Policy is overseen by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Committee has no 
executive powers with regard to its findings and recommendations however is responsible for monitoring, reviewing and 
reporting to the Board on the Company’s performance in respect of gender diversity in accordance with the Company’s 
Diversity Policy.

The Board is committed to targeting a board composition aligned to its workforce and patient base overtime.

The Diversity Policy is available on the Monash IVF Group Ltd website  
http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 

The Group has policies in relation to harassment, discrimination and grievance procedures including independent avenues 
that employees can pursue. The policies are contained in manuals provided to employees upon commencement and are 
also available via the company intranet. The Group also offers an employee assistance program that provides counselling 
services to employees for issues that may impact their work performance.

1.6 Director Performance Evaluation

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee under the Chair of Ms Christy Boyce undertakes the process of performance 
reviews of the Board, its Committees and the Chairman. Objectives of the review are to ensure the Board adheres to ASX 
governance principles and to identify opportunities to improve the functioning of the Board as a whole. The focus is on  
the performance of the Board as a whole and, to a lesser extent, the Board committees. It is not intended to evaluate  
the performance of individual directors. The Chairman performs individual appraisals on each director. 

The annual review completed by Monash IVF Group Ltd Board was undertaken in May 2015 and repeated in May 2016.  
It involved directors completing a confidential online questionnaire covering aspects outlined in the Board Charter.  
The results were aggregated and discussed by the Board to inform areas or opportunities for improvement.

Individual review of Board members was undertaken at the end of FY16 by the Chairman. This process allowed for 
evaluation of contributions made during the previous year and provided the Chair with the opportunity to set development 
plans and issue specific guidance to individual Directors.

Corporate Governance Statement continued

1.7 Senior Executive Evaluations

Monash IVF Group Ltd has an annual Performance Review Policy for all senior executives and managers as stated in the 
Board Charter. Senior executive and manager performance is reviewed by the CEO against KPIs which are both financial 
and non financial in nature. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has oversight of this process. 

The Chairman of the Board performs the CEO performance review against annual key performance indicators.  
James Thiedeman’s performance was formally reviewed in June and recommendations as a result were taken to the 
Board. The Board oversees and monitors the key performance indicators and strategic plan for the Group which also 
allows the Board to monitor the performance of senior executives outside the annual review process. 

In FY16 a newly established format of review has been used to identify, assess and enhance competencies of senior executives.

Principle 2 Structure of the Board to add value

The Constitution of the Company provides that the number of Directors must at any time be no more than ten and no less 
than three members. The Monash IVF Group Ltd Board currently consists of six directors, three independent and three  
non independent members. The Board Charter prescribes that the Chair of the Board must be independent and the Board 
should consist of individuals who contribute a mix of skills and a diversity of professional backgrounds. Further information 
on the Board members is available in the Director’s Report.

Monash IVF Group Ltd believes the current Board of six members adequately allows its members to carry out its 
responsibilities without unnecessarily debasing its effectiveness with an excessive number that can hinder individual 
engagement and involvement of Board members. To add efficiency to the Board two committees are in-place; the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee whereby meetings occurred during FY16. 
The Board Charter prescribes that all committee members be Independent Directors.

2.3 2.4 and 2.5 Board Independence 

The Board Charter outlines that at least half of the Board should be independent directors, one of whom is the Chairman. 
A director is deemed to be “independent” if free of any business or other relationship with the Company that could materially 
interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to interfere with, the exercise of unfettered and independent judgement. 

The Board has assessed, using the criteria set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation,  
the independence of non-executive directors in light of their interests and relationships and considers at least half to be 
independent. The Company will provide immediate notification to the market where the independence status of a director 
changes. The independence status and length of service of each director is outlined in the table under Principle 2. Whilst 
50% of the Board are considered independent, the Board remains committed to increasing the proportion of independent 
directors over time. Mr Richard Davis was appointed Monash IVF Group Ltd Chairman in June 2014. He is a non-executive 
Independent Director. Mr Davis in his role as Chair provides leadership to the Board and advice and support to the CEO. 
The Chair of the Board is responsible for overseeing Board dynamics and ensuring all directors contribute effectively and 
constructively to Group meetings and strategic agendas. 

2.6 Director Induction and Professional Development

Monash IVF Group Ltd has a comprehensive induction process for Directors and senior executives. This induction includes 
meetings with senior management and staff to gain an understanding of the core business as well as visits to laboratories 
and clinics to gain a more in depth understanding of the business. There have not been any new appointments to the 
Board during the year. 

Board members have been continuously informed via research papers and presentations, financial and business results 
and discussion involving market strategic initiatives contributing to the continued professional development of the Board.

Principle 3 Act ethically and responsibly

Monash IVF Group Ltd recognises the need to observe the highest standards of corporate practice, business conduct and 
responsible decision making. Accordingly, the Board adheres to a formal Code of Conduct which outlines Monash IVF Group 
Ltd policies on various matters including ethical conduct, business and personal conduct, compliance, privacy, security  
of information, financial integrity and conflicts of interest. This Code clearly states the standard of responsibility and ethical 
conduct expected of staff, directors or doctors engaged by the Company. The Code recognises the numerous legislative 
and compliance matters that affect the business.

3.1 Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct promotes ethical and responsible decision making by directors, contractors and employees.  
The Code also gives direction in the avoidance of conflicts of interest and mandates high standards of personal integrity, 
objectivity and honesty in the dealings of all Monash IVF Group Ltd Board members and staff, detailing guidelines to ensure  
the highest standards are maintained. Monash IVF Group holds all staff to act according to this Code to maintain standards 
in confidentiality and general behaviour.

Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk

The Monash IVF Group Ltd Board, primarily through the Audit and Risk Management Committee, reviews and manages 
risk areas for the Group.

7.1 Audit and Risk Management Committee

The identification and appropriate management of risks is an important priority for the Monash IVF Group Ltd Board. 
‘Risks’ are identified as any possible outcomes that could materially impact the Company’s financial performance,  
assets, reputation, people or the environment.

Risk recognition and management are viewed by the Company as integral to its objectives of creating and maintaining 
shareholder value, and to the successful execution of the Company’s strategies. The Audit and Risk Management 
Committee oversees and governs risk management strategy and policy, to monitor risk management and to establish 
procedures which seek to provide assurance that major business risks are identified, consistently assessed and 
appropriately addressed. 

The Committee abides by the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate 
governance and oversight responsibilities in actively identifying risks and developing appropriate mitigants. The Board 
Committee adheres to the Risk Management Policy for the business which highlights the risks relevant to Company operations. 

Monash IVF Group Ltd’s Audit & Risk Management Committee Charter can be found on the website at:  
http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 

This Charter prescribes that the Audit and Risk Management Committee consist of three Board Directors that are  
non-executive independent Directors as detailed earlier in this report. 

7.2 Risk Management 

The Group Audit and Risk Management Committee employs the Risk Management Matrix and Risk Assessment Tool utilised 
by the Group entities. Both are used to assist in determining the action required in response to an actual or perceived risk 
based on the corporate and clinical consequences of a risk assessed against the likelihood of an event occurring. 

Recognising the importance of appropriate and timely risk management for the Group, the Board has engaged with  
an external advisor to review the current risk management framework and tools and use of the same to work with the 
Committee and Senior Management Committee to review risk and the management of risk and actual events. This has 
been a comprehensive body of work that continues to be developed. 

The Group maintains a Risk Register that documents all identified risks, lists appropriate preventative actions to mitigate 
risks, reviews process of risk reduction and nominates responsible persons who take ownership of the risk strategy process. 
The Risk Register is currently reviewed by the Leadership Team internally every six months who then report results to the 
Audit and Risk Management Committee. During the year independent examination was undertaken of the Risk policies  
and the Risk Register of the Group and the policies and procedures whilst found to be sound identified areas of improvement 
and the policies and practices are being improved to meet these challenges. The results of this examination formed the 
basis of the annual review of the risk management framework and were reported to the Committee.

The Risk Register is also used to ensure that appropriate risks are identified and classified in the Matrix and Risk 
Assessment Tool.

A separate Workplace Health and Safety register is also maintained and reviewed by the Committee annually.

The Company system of reporting allows for formal reporting of risks or adverse events and near misses.  
The Company framework is compliant with the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter as found at  
http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance

The Group Audit and Risk Management Committee has been apprised of the risk culture in the organisation as evidenced 
by the high standard of processes and procedures evident in the laboratories of the business and the recognition of this 
risk averse culture is maintained via the ongoing commitment to education and training of our doctors and staff.

7.3 Internal Audit

Monash IVF Group Ltd did not have a designated Internal Audit Function during FY16 however our external auditors review 
and report on internal controls. The Group appointed PriceWaterhouseCoopers as its internal audit provider in August 2016 
who will be performing financial and non-financial internal audits in the financial, operational, information systems and 
compliance areas within the Group. PriceWaterhouseCoopers has been engaged for a 3 year term. 

The CEO and CFO also have key responsibility in ensuring that internal controls are in place and operating effectively.  
As part of the various accreditation and licensing processes undertaken by the business key internal audit functions are 
undertaken. These audits are then made available to accrediting/licensing bodies. The Group believes internal controls 
implemented such as segregation of duties, delegation processes and structured approval processes are in place  
to counter many risks. 

7.4 Risk Exposure

Monash IVF Group Ltd provides assisted reproductive services in Australia and Malaysia and specialist women’s imaging 
services in Australia. As a Group we are committed to conducting our services in an open and transparent environment and 
in a manner that is honest and ethical. The Group’s focus embraces responsibility for corporate actions and encourages  
a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including patients, employees, investors and the community. 

Since our early pioneering days in assisted reproductive treatment, resulting in the first IVF pregnancy in 1973, Monash IVF 
Group Ltd has played an important role in the local communities we serve and society at large. Our focus on evidenced 
based fertility care provides the opportunity to commit resources to scientific research, clinical teaching and training. 

From an ethical perspective, Monash IVF Group Ltd and its companies ensure national regulation and state legislation  
drive the standards of care to ensure we protect our patients, donors and any children produced through our treatments. 
Our assisted reproductive treatment sites in Australia are accredited with the Reproductive Technology Accreditation 
Committee (RTAC) and we ensure continued appropriate registrations are held by our sites, doctors, nurses and scientists. 
This accreditation incorporates components covering ethics and safety in practice and management of adverse events. 
Our two day surgeries are accredited with National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards which ensure 
quality standards are consistent with an exceptional standard of care expected by consumers in health facilities. Our 
Malaysian site whilst not legally requiring the same level of approval operates to the same standards having been externally 
accredited to RTAC standards during the year. 

Monash IVF Group laboratories have a formal Quality Management System to review and monitor quality of product from 
suppliers. New consumables undergo a full quality screening process and products are thoroughly evaluated to review 
where and how products are manufactured before being used in the laboratories. All products are reviewed formally on  
an annual basis to ensure they maintain quality standards and informally on a day to day basis. Suppliers are reviewed  
and audited annually in a formal process to monitor customer service and compliance. Currently all Monash IVF Group 
sites use predominantly products from the top two suppliers in lab products supplying to Australia in order to maintain 
consistency in quality. 

The Monash IVF Group Workplace Health and Safety Policy covers policies on general safety in the work environment 
including management and disposal of chemicals to ensure all are being utilised and disposed of under best practice 
guidelines to reduce environmental impact. 

Monash IVF Group Ltd recognises protecting the environment is a critical issue and a key responsibility of the business  
and corporate community. With 22 fertility clinics, 17 specialist women’s imaging sites, 5 service centres, 2 specialised 
diagnostic laboratories, 2 day hospitals and one central administration headquarters we consider our impact environmentally 
to be minimal. Monash IVF Group is an organisation that is not involved in manufacturing or resource extractions and 
hence we consider our environmental footprint to be small and we sincerely adopt a philosophy of clinical excellence  
in an environment of safe and supportive service provision. No material environmental or social sustainability risks have  
been identified. 

The Group takes cyber security and its potential consequences extremely seriously. The Group has comprehensive security 
arrangements in place to isolate attacks on its systems and ensure that attempted intrusions are identified and viruses are 
not spread across the Group’s network or systems. The Group’s IT systems operate safely, securely and with a high degree  
of resilience. Numerous levels of redundancy and backup are built into the IT systems providing a high degree of system 
availability and protection of data.

Monash IVF Group Ltd recognises our staff are a significant asset to our business and we work with our staff to provide  
an environment that is open and flexible. Staff have the opportunity to shape standards and quality of care and contribute 
to our internal policies and processes that aim to provide career expansion, training and development opportunities. Our 
team of scientists and nurses are supported to develop their own career path supported by the Group through education 
and research sponsorship and professional development funding.

Corporate Governance Statement continued

Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk continued
7.4 Risk Exposure continued

Our business operates in accordance with relevant Workplace Health and Safety laws and is committed to training and 
encouraging staff and doctors to be vigilant with regard to safety for themselves and our patients. A Group incident 
reporting structure ensures transparency and appropriate data collection and ensures appropriate corrective actions  
are undertaken.

Economic risk continues to be potentially material to Monash IVF Group Ltd. Our services in Australia are indirectly funded 
to a significant extent by the Australian Federal Government through Medicare Benefit Schedule and Extended Medicare 
Safety Net. Any change to the funding arrangements could lead to reduced demand for our services affecting financial 
performance and sustainability of the Group. Market contraction and changes to market dynamics can significantly affect 
business outcomes and are a risk for the Group. Market competitiveness has heightened for this reason. One area where 
Monash IVF Group Ltd has been integral in leading the industry has been in advocating for governing bodies to be more 
transparent in reporting outcomes of treatments to allow patients to be better informed before commencing treatment. 
Tightening industry standards to ensure policies on consistency of data gathering, outcome reporting and transparency  
of results to the community will lead to improved outcomes for patients and the industry generally. 

The Group supports its employees to actively engage in community events and as a Group we take pride in sponsoring 
local causes and individuals who are striving to achieve personal goals. As an ASX listed company we encourage staff to 
get involved in community engagement initiatives and we have supported staff in ‘giving back’ to the community through 
charity events and sporting ventures for charitable purposes. 

Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly
8.1 Remuneration and Nomination Committee

As outlined above under ‘Structure the Board to add value’ Monash IVF Group Ltd has a combined Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee which assists the Board with discharging its responsibilities to Shareholders with regard to developing 
and monitoring remuneration policies and practices for Directors, Senior Executives and employees. 

The Committee works under the guidance of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter and Remuneration Policy.

8.2 Remuneration of executive and non-executive directors 

Under the guidance of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Policy the Monash IVF Group 
Ltd Board has established a framework for remuneration that is designed to ensure consistent and reasoned remuneration 
polices and practices are observed which enable the attraction and retention of directors and management and fairly 
rewards Directors and senior management for positive performance.

Monash IVF Group Ltd remuneration practices for Executive appointments are expanded on in the Remuneration Report. 
The Monash IVF Group Ltd Remuneration Policy can be found on the Group website at:  
http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 

8.3 Equity-based remuneration 

Currently the CEO and CFO have long-term incentives that are equity based. The participants have no mechanisms 
available to limit the risk associated with that scheme.

This is the financial report of Monash IVF Group Ltd 
(the Company) and its subsidiaries (together referred 
to as ‘the Group’) and including the Group’s interest 
in associates. 

Over the past year we have reviewed the content  
and structure of the financial report looking for 
opportunities to make them less complex and  
more relevant to users. This includes:

(cid:115)(cid:0) a thorough review of content to eliminate 

immaterial disclosures that may undermine the 
usefulness of the financial report by obscuring 
important information: and

(cid:115)(cid:0)

reorganisation of the notes in the financial 
statements into sections to assist users  
in understanding the Group’s performance.

The purpose of these changes is to provide users 
with a clearer understanding of what drives the 
financial performance and financial position of the 
Group, and a better alignment with the Group’s 
strategy, whilst still complying with the provisions  
of the Corporations Act 2001.

In order to develop this financial report, management  
is required to make a number of judgements  
and apply estimates of the future as part of the 
application process of the Group’s accounting 
policies. Judgements and estimates, which are 
material to the report, are highlighted in the  
following notes:

1.4  Recovery of deferred tax assets and income taxes

2.2  Plant and equipment 

2.3   Goodwill & other indefinite life assets and goodwill

3.3  Share-based payments

MONASH IVF GROUP Annual Report 2016

Notes to the Consolidated  
Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Reporting entity

Monash IVF Group Ltd (the ‘Company’) is a for profit company primarily involved in the area of assisted reproductive services 
and the provision of specialist women’s imaging services. The Company is incorporated in Australia and listed on the 
Australian Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at Level 1, 21-31 Goodwood Street, Richmond, Victoria and is limited  
by shares. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its controlled entities (collectively ‘the 
consolidated entity’, ‘Monash Group’ or ‘Group’). 

Monash IVF Group Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiary Monash IVF Group Acquisitions Pty Ltd were incorporated  
on 30 April 2014. 

Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Australian Accounting Standards (AASB) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting 

Standards Board (AASB); and

(cid:115)(cid:0)

the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report of the Group also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and 
interpretations adopted by the international Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on the 26 August 2016. 

Going concern

As at 30 June 2016 the Group has a net current asset deficiency of $18,334,000 (FY15: $14,910,000).

The directors consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when 
they fall due based on forecast operating cashflows which indicate that cash reserves are sufficient to fund operations,  
the availability of committed but undrawn external debt facilities, and given certain current liabilities such as employee 
entitlements and deferred income will not be fully settled in the short term to cause a liquidity shortfall. 

Basis of measurement

The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical cost (unless otherwise stated), except 
for derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration assumed in a business combination, which have been 
measured at fair value.

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentational 
currency of the Company and the majority of the Group. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency 
and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. 

Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 
issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), relating to the rounding off of amounts in the 
consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance 
with that legislative instrument to the nearest thousand, unless specifically stated to be otherwise. 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Monash IVF Group Ltd  
as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the 
Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The acquisition method of 
accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements continued

Section 1  Our Financial Performance

This section provides the information that is most relevant to understanding the financial performance  
of the Group during the financial year and, where relevant, the accounting policies applied and the critical 
judgements and estimates made.

1.1 Operating segments

1.2 Dividends

1.3 Earnings per share

1.4 Taxation

1.1 Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments

The two geographic segments being Australia and International reflect Monash IVF Group’s reporting structure to the  
Chief Executive Officer, its chief operating decision maker (CODM). Monash IVF Group considers that the two geographic 
segments are appropriate for segment reporting purposes under AASB 8 “Operating Segments”. These segments 
comprise the following operations:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Monash IVF Group Australia: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services, Ultrasound and other related services.
(cid:115)(cid:0) Monash IVF Group International: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services in Malaysia.

Segment revenue

The revenue from external parties is measured in the same way as in the profit or loss. If any sales occur between 
segments, they are carried out at arm’s length and are eliminated on consolidation.

Segment EBITDA

Segment performance is measured based on segment EBITDA as included in the internal management reports that are 
reviewed by the Group’s CODM. Segment EBITDA is used to measure performance as management believes that such 
information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of segments relative to other entities that operate within the 
industry. Any intersegment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

Segment assets and liabilities

Segment assets and liabilities are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These assets are allocated based 
on the operations of the segment, physical location of the asset and liabilities residing within each geographic segment.

Information about reportable segments

Information related to each reportable segment is set out on the next page. Segment profit before tax, as included in 
internal management reports reviewed by the Group’s CODM, is used to measure performance because management 
believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to other 
entities that operate within the same industries. 

Given the nature of services provided, no segment is reliant on any major customers.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the patient, recovery 
of the consideration is probable and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair 
value of the consideration received or receivable.

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised on completion of services provided. Revenue is recognised on completion 
of a medical procedure, on supply of drugs, or on completion of analytical tests. If payments received from patients exceed 
the revenue recognised, the difference is recognised as deferred revenue. 

Deferred revenue

Fees for fertility treatment cycles paid in advance of the provision of the service are recognised as deferred revenue until 
the time the service is rendered to the patient when the fees are recognised as revenue.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the 
exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost 
in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and 
the amortised costs in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional 
currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in 
terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are 
translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations  
are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are 
recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI), and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation 
reserve) in equity.

1.2 Dividends

On 26 February 2016, the Board declared a fully franked interim dividend of 4.00 cents per share. Payment of the interim 
dividend occurred on 8 April 2016. On 28 August 2015, a fully franked 2015 final dividend of 3.70 cents per share was 
declared and paid on 15 October 2015. Total dividends declared during the 2016 financial year were 7.70 cents per share 
($18.1m). Monash IVF Group’s dividend policy is to intend a target payout ratio of between 60% and 70% of Statutory 
NPAT. The level of payout ratio is expected to vary between periods depending on general operating conditions, operating 
cashflow and profit, funding and availability of franking credits. 

Subsequent to 30 June 2016, the Board has declared a fully franked 2016 final dividend of 4.50 cents per share. Total dividend 
declared for 2016 is 8.50 cents per share. 

Franking credits surplus as at 30 June 2016 is $0.2m (2015: $1.1m).

1.3 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share has been based on profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been based on profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Recognition and measurement

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. 

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: 

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly 
controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, 
based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Offsetting deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and  
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax 
entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their assets and liabilities will be 
realised simultaneously.

Tax consolidation

Monash IVF Group Limited and its wholly Australian owned controlled entities are part of a tax consolidation group under 
Australian taxation law. Monash IVF Group Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Entities within the  
tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. 
Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Monash IVF Group Limited and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated 
group have agreed to pay (or receive) a tax equivalent payment to (or from) the head entity, based on the current tax 
liability or current tax asset of the entity.

Key estimate and judgement: Recovery of deferred tax assets 

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Key estimate and judgement: Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Judgement is 
required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and in assessing whether deferred tax balances are 
recognised on the statement of financial position. Changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact 
the amount of provision for income taxes and deferred tax balances recognised.

Section 2  Our Operating Asset Base

This section provides information relating to the Group’s Operating Base, highlighting the primary operating 
assets used and liabilities incurred to support the Group’s operating activities. 

2.1 Trade and other receivables 

2.2 Plant and equipment 

2.3 Intangible assets

2.4 Trade and other payables

2.1 Trade and other receivables
Recognition and measurement

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective 
interest method less provision for impairment.

A financial asset (including trade receivables) not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each 
reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. Trade and other receivables are 
impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the 
loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Particularly 
for trade receivables a review is performed as to whether they are collectable according to the original terms of the sale 
transaction. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference 
between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original 
effective interest rate.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a patient or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, being patients. 

Credit risk is managed at a business unit level and reviewed regularly by the administrative/accounts receivables function. 
Up to 100% of patient fees are received in advance and recognised as deferred revenue if the procedure is yet to be 
performed. This reduces the risk of non-collectability. Trade receivables reflect 2.4% of annual revenue (FY2015: 2.3%).

Payment reminder notices are issued to patients with outstanding balances at 30, 60 and 90 days. After which, collection 
of this debt is handled by a collection agency. 

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial 
instruments entered into by the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements continued

2.2 Plant and equipment 
Recognition and measurement

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self constructed assets 
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working 
condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are 
located and capitalised borrowing costs. 

Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major 
components) of plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal 
with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised on a net basis within “other income” in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable 
that the future economic benefits embodied with the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. 

The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of the plant and 
equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Key estimate and judgement: Plant and equipment 

The Group’s plant and equipment are depreciated/amortised over their useful economic lives. Management reviews the 
appropriateness of useful economic lives of assets and any impairment indicators annually by evaluating conditions 
specific to the consolidated Group and to the particular asset. 

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for 
cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item 
of plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic 
benefits embodied in the asset. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives 
unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. Assets in work-in-progress 
are not depreciated until commissioned for use.

2.3 Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement

Goodwill

Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of 
net identifiable assets of the acquired entities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included 
in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment 
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset 
to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised 
in profit or loss as incurred.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

72

Invest in life

Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements continued

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or another amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. 
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other 
than goodwill and trademark, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected 
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The estimated useful lives of software in 2016 and 2015 are between 5-10 years from the acquisition date.

Impairment testing

Recognition and measurement on impairment on non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed  
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the 
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

2.3 Intangible assets continued
Impairment testing continued

Recognition and measurement on impairment on non-financial assets continued

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group  
of assets that generates cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the ‘cash-generating’ units). The recoverable 
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.  
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount  
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment 
losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the 
CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount 
that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

In FY16, an Ultrasound CGU was identified and tested separately reflecting the Group’s ultrasound businesses. 

The following CGUs were tested for impairment during the 2016 financial year:

Key estimate and judgement: Goodwill & Other indefinite life assets

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets become impaired when their carrying value exceeds their recoverable 
amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In determining the recoverable 
amount, judgements and assumptions are made in the determination of likely net sale the proceeds or in the determination 
of future cash flows which support a value in use. Specifically with respect to future cash flows, judgements are made in 
respect to the quantum of those future cash flows, the discount rates (cost of capital and debt) applied to determining 
the net present value of these future cash flows.

Goodwill impairment testing assumptions 

The recoverable amount of each CGU was calculated using a value in use calculation determined by discounting the 
future cash flows generated from each CGU. From impairment testing performed, the recoverable amount was determined 
to be higher than the carrying amount and any reasonable possible change to relevant assumptions and inputs would 
not result in the recoverable amount being lower than the carrying amount. The following key assumptions and inputs 
were utilised for the impairment testing:

(cid:115)(cid:0) The respective discount rate was a pre-tax measure based on the rate of 10 year Government bonds issued by the 
Australian and Malaysian Government respectively in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the 
increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific CGU. A pre-tax discount rate  
of 11.12% (2015: 9.41%) for the Australian and Ultrasound CGUs and pre-tax discount rate of 11.46% (2015:11.18%) 
for the International CGU was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was estimated 
based on past experience, and the industry average weighted cost of capital. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Five years of cash flows were included in the discounted cash flow model. A long-term growth rate into perpetuity  
of 3.00% (2015:3.00%) has been determined based on an assessment of historical growth rates, expectations of 
future growth rates and market specific dynamics. Budgeted EBIT was based on the expectation of future outcomes 
taking into account past experience, adjusted for the anticipated revenue growth.

2.4 Trade and other payables
Recognition and measurement

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised when the Group becomes obligated to make future payments resulting from the 
purchase of goods and services. Trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. The carrying 
amounts of trade and other payables are assumed to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that  
can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a post-tax discount rate that reflects current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is 
recognised as a finance cost.

Section 3  Our People

This section provides financial insight into employee reward and recognition for creating a high performance 
culture and the Group’s ability to attract and retain talent. This section is to be read in conjunction with the 
Remuneration Report, as set out in the Directors’ Report. 

3.1 Employee benefits

3.2 Long-term incentive plan

3.3 Share-based payments arrangements 

3.4 Key management personnel

3.1 Employee benefits
Recognition and measurement

Short-term obligations

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits are expected to be settled 
within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are 
expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Other long-term obligations

All other employee benefits are measured at their present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect 
of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on 
Corporate bonds issued by the relevant markets that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.

The aggregate amount of employee benefits is comprised of:

Current liability

Long service leave

Annual leave

Total current employee benefits

The aggregate employee entitlement provision is $7,783,000 (2015: $7,524,000). Employee benefits incurred during the 
year were $45,694,000 (2015: $33,891,000).

Key estimate and judgement: Annual leave and long service leave

Long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of estimated future payments for the services provided 
by employees up to the end of the reporting period. This calculation requires judgement in determining the following  
key assumptions:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Future increase in wages and salary rates;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Future on-cost rates; and
(cid:115)(cid:0) Expected settlement dates based on staff turnover history
The liability is discounted using the Australian corporate bond rates which most closely match the terms to maturity  
of the entitlement.

Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements continued

3.2 Long-term incentive plan 
Recognition and measurement – Share-based payments 

The Group will provide benefits to certain employees in the form of share-based payment options and/or performance 
rights. The fair value of these instruments granted under the plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense with  
a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which 
the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the instruments.

Fair value is measured at grant date using a combination of Binomial tree and Monte Carlo simulation models, for  
the respective performance hurdles. The valuation was performed by an independent valuer which models the future 
security price.

The fair value of the instruments granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting 
conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. At  
each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. 

The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the 
revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Under the Company’s Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) Plan, awards (constituting SARs, performance rights or options, or any 
different class or category of award on such terms as the Board determines) may be offered to eligible persons (including 
executives, contractors, senior management, doctors and other employees) selected by the Directors. Key management 
personnel, other senior management and fertility specialists are eligible to participate under the LTI Programs. 

Senior executives’ long-term incentive plan 

The senior executives’ LTI are share options and performance rights plans with vesting rights dependent upon the 
satisfaction of pre-defined performance hurdles and continuous employment. Current performance hurdlers are based  
on achievement of pre-defined Earning Per Share (“EPS”) Hurdles and a Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Hurdle over  
a three year performance period. The Board may amend the performance hurdles or specify a different performance 
hurdle(s) if it considers it necessary. For further detail on the specific LTI plans, refer to the Remuneration Report.

Fertility specialist long-term incentive plan

The fee for service fertility specialists were eligible to participate in the Fertility Specialist LTI Plan during FY16. Two separate 
tranches were offered:

(cid:115)(cid:0) A Practice Development Award to recognise the consistent development of a fertility specialist’s practice at above 

industry growth rates; and

(cid:115)(cid:0) A Key Doctor Award to recognise the significant contribution of key fee-for-service fertility specialists and their 

commitment to the development of Monash IVF.

Eligibility criteria also included a number of qualitative criteria focused on optimising the patient experience and  
clinical excellence.

For further detail on the LTI plans, refer to the Remuneration Report.

Section 4  Our Funding Structure

This section provides information relating to the Group’s capital structure and its exposure to financial risk, 
how they affect the Group’s financial position and performance, and how the risks are managed.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt and equity. The Directors determine the appropriate capital 
structure of Monash IVF, specifically how much is raised from the shareholders (equity) and how much is 
borrowed from financial institutions (debt) in order to finance the current and future activities of the Group.  
The Directors review the Group’s capital structure regularly and do so in the context of the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, to invest in opportunities that grow the business and enhance shareholder value.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

Other equity reserve

The other equity reserve represents the difference between the issued capital in Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd and 
Monash IVF Group Ltd on 26 June 2014, being the date Monash IVF Group Ltd acquired Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd. 

Profits reserve

The profit reserve comprises the transfer of net profit for the period and characterises profits available for distribution  
as dividends in future periods.

Share option reserve

Share option reserve represents the grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to 
employees, which is generally recognised as an expense, with corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period  
of the awards.

Hedge reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging 
instruments related to highly probable forecast transactions. The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on 
derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and that are recognised in OCI.

Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss.

No shares were issued during the year. 

All shares are fully paid. No ordinary shares have been issued under the long-term incentive plan.

In June 2015, Monash IVF Group Ltd issued 4,314,349 ordinary shares as partial consideration for the acquisition of Sydney 
Ultrasound for Women (“SUFW”).

Ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion 
to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to one vote, either in person or 
by proxy, at a meeting of the Company. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value.

Capital management 

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and market confidence and to sustain 
future growth of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary 
shareholders. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with 
higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital structure. In order to maintain an 
optimal capital structure, the Group may amend the amount of dividends declared and paid, return capital to shareholders 
or increase borrowings or equity to fund growth and future acquisitions. 

Escrow arrangements

The following ordinary Shareholders have entered into voluntary escrow arrangements in relation to certain ordinary shares 
they hold in Monash IVF Group Ltd. An ‘escrow’ is a restriction on sale, disposal, or encumbering of, or certain other dealings 
in respect of, the Shares concerned for the period of the escrow, subject to exceptions set out in the escrow arrangement.

Doctors

The escrow applied to a pre-IPO doctor was calculated by reference to the aggregate value of that person’s  
pre-reorganisation equity interests in Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd as follows:

Shares equivalent to 10% of a doctor’s interest prior to the re-organisation are held in short-term escrow, with 3.33% being  
released from escrow on the first trading day in Shares following the announcement to the ASX by the Company of its 
preliminary final report for FY2015. Following each of the two subsequent announcements of the Company’s preliminary 
final report (up to and including the preliminary final report for FY2017), shares equivalent to a further 3.33% per year of  
a doctor’s interest prior to re-organisation will be released (if not otherwise released) from escrow. All of this short-term 
escrow can be released prematurely where the doctor becomes a ‘good leaver’ (as described below).

1.  Shares equivalent to 20% of a doctor’s interest prior to the re-organisation will be released when the doctor reaches 

the age of 63. These shares may be otherwise released from escrow in the following circumstances:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

for doctors who are aged 63 or older at the time of re-organisation or who turn 63 within two years of Completion, 
these shares will be released from escrow on the second anniversary of re-organisation; or

(cid:115)(cid:0) where a doctor becomes a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below), these Shares will be released from escrow  

five years after the date that they become a ‘relocated leaver’; or

(cid:115)(cid:0) where a doctor dies or leaves the Group as a result of becoming permanently disabled or seriously disabled,  
these shares will be released from escrow on the date of the relevant occurrence (as resolved by the Board  
acting reasonably); or

(cid:115)(cid:0)

if the Board determines to release the shares from escrow earlier.

2.  Shares equivalent to the final 20% of a doctor’s interest prior to re-organisation will be released from escrow:

(cid:115)(cid:0) on retirement by the doctor from the ARS industry (provided a doctor must have used their best endeavours  

to transition their practice to another doctor to the satisfaction of the Board); or

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

if the doctor becomes a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below); or

five years after the doctor leaves Monash IVF Group in other circumstances.

Doctors will be able to sell any non-escrowed shares at any time, subject to complying with insider trading restrictions and 
the Group’s Securities Trading Policy.

The escrow arrangements describe the circumstances in which a doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ in the 
following manner:

(a)  A doctor is a ‘good leaver’ where:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

they leave the Group as a result of death, serious disability or permanent incapacity through ill health (as determined 
by the Group’s Board, acting reasonably); or

they or the Group terminates the doctor’s contract in specific circumstances; or

The Board determines, in its discretion, that the doctor is a ‘good leaver’.

(b)  A doctor is a ‘relocated leaver’ if they terminate their contract and the Board is satisfied that:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

the doctor genuinely intends to relocate permanently to a place which is more than 100 km from any clinic operated 
by the Group or any of its subsidiaries; and

the doctor also intends to provide Assisted Reproductive Services in the place the doctor is relocating to; and

the doctor has used their best endeavours to transition their practice to another doctor at the Group.

Management & Ironbridge

For management shareholders, shares equivalent to 50% of their interest prior to the re-organisation held by or on behalf 
of the member of management was released from escrow on 31 August 2015 in shares following an announcement to the 
ASX by the Group of its final report for FY2015. Ironbridge shares escrowed (11.6m shares) were released from escrow on 
31 August 2015. There are no management and Ironbridge escrowed shares currently held.

Escrow for Sydney Ultrasound for Women (SUFW)

All shares issued to the vendors of SUFW are escrowed such that 53.3% of the shares issued are escrowed until the first 
trading day after the release of the FY2016 results, 3.3% are escrowed until the first trading day after the release of the  
FY2017 results, 3.3% are escrowed until the first trading day after the release of the FY2018 results. The remaining 40%  
is subject to escrow and is consistent with the doctors above in points 1 and 2.

Doctors will be able to sell any non-escrowed Shares at any time following re-organisation, subject to complying with 
insider trading restrictions and the Group’s Securities Trading Policy.

The escrow arrangements describing the circumstances in which a SUFW doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ 
are the same as described above.

4.2 Financial risk management 

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Liquidity risk; 
(cid:115)(cid:0) Foreign exchange risk
Interest risk; and

(cid:115)(cid:0)
(cid:115)(cid:0) Price risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, objectives, policies and processes 
for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout 
this financial report.

Risk management policies are in place to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits 
and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly 
to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its recruitment, training and 
management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which  
all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting 
its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Preparing forward-looking financial analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Maintaining a reputable credit profile;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Managing credit risk related to financial assets;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
(cid:115)(cid:0) Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is not exposed to material levels of foreign currency risk at the reporting date or during the financial year.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of floating rate debt and fixed rate instruments. At 30 June 2016 approximately 
60% of the interest rate exposure is fixed (2015: 47%). This is achieved by entering into interest rate swaps to mitigate 
interest rate risk on floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps are not entered into for trading purposes and are not classified  
as held for trading.

The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to management of the Group  
is as follows including the impact of hedging instruments:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 

A reasonable possible change of a 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) 
equity and profit or loss by $301,000 (FY15: $474,000). This assumes that all other variables remain constant. 

Market risk – Price risk

The Group is exposed to legislative and/or Government policy changes to funding for IVF and related healthcare services 
which may impact patient out-of-pocket costs resulting in potentially higher or lower demand.

Fair values

(a) Accounting classifications and fair values

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their 
levels in the fair value hierarchy. The Group has not disclosed the fair values for financial assets such as short-term trade 
receivables, and financial liabilities such as payables (including variable rate secured bank loans), because these carrying 
amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair values.

Refer Section 5.1 for further information. Deferred consideration also includes $980,000 paid during 2016 relating to the Reproductive Medicine Albury 
acquisition which occurred in 2014. 

The table above analyses financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The different levels have been defined as follows:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
(cid:115)(cid:0) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 

directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

4.3 Borrowings
Recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge certain floating interest rate exposures. On initial designation of 
the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedging items, including 
the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be 
used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the 
hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective”  
in offsetting the change in the cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which hedge is designated, 
and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast 
transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows 
that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributed transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes to therein are accounted for as 
described below. All derivative financial instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities.

Cash flow hedge

Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised in OCI and 
presented in the hedging reserve in equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective changes in fair value are recognised  
in profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised,  
or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously 
recognised in OCI and presented in the hedge reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or 
loss. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in OCI is recognised immediately in profit 
or loss. In other cases the amount recognised in OCI is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item 
affects profit or loss.

Borrowings 

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs.  
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional  
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans and borrowings are 
classified as non-current. 

On 21 June 2016, the Group refinanced its syndicate debt facility. The new facility comprises of a $110.0m syndicated  
debt and $5.0m working capital facility. In addition, the Group has access to an uncommitted $40.0m accordion facility  
for acquisition and capital expenditure purposes. The maturity profile of the syndicated debt facility is as follows for

The banking facilities are secured via a first ranking security over substantially all of the Group’s entities. 

The Group is subject to certain financial undertakings under the banking facilities which will be tested at 31 December  
and 30 June each year. As at 30 June 2016, the Group is compliant with its financial undertakings and expects to remain  
in compliance with these financial undertakings. During the prior year, there were no defaults or breaches of covenants  
on any loans.

As at 30 June 2016, the Group had $900,000 bank guarantees in place (2015: $800,000).

4.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Recognition and measurement

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and term 
deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, 
and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments. 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid funds because the counterparties engaged are banks with high credit 
ratings assigned by international credit agencies. At balance date, the Group had $8,472,000 in short-term deposits or 
cash at bank with ‘A’ rated or higher Australian banks.

Section 5 Our Business Portfolio

This section provides further insight into the business acquired and group of subsidiary companies.

5.1 Business combinations

5.2 Controlled entities

5.1 Business combinations
Recognition and measurement

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises  
the following:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

fair values of the assets transferred

fair value of liabilities assumed

(cid:115)(cid:0)
(cid:115)(cid:0) equity interests issued by the Group

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:115)(cid:0)

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity 
on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the 
acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and acquisition 
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired 
is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, 
the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. Where settlement of any cash consideration  
is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. 

The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be 
obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified 
either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value 
with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Key estimate and judgement: Business acquisitions 

The consolidated financial statements include information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the 
Company obtains control until such time as the Company ceases to control the entity.

The determination as to the existence of control or significant influence over an entity necessarily requires management 
judgement to assess the Group’s ability to govern the financial and operating activities of an investee. In making such  
an assessment, a range of factors are considered including voting rights in an investee and board and management 
representation.

A business acquisition also requires judgement with respect to the determination of the fair value of purchase consideration 
given and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. The identification and valuation for such assets and 
liabilities including brand names, patient relationships, patents, trademarks and contingent liabilities are initially recorded 
on a provisional basis which requires estimation and certain judgements on inputs. 

During the year, provisional accounting for the Fertility East and Sydney Ultrasound for Woman acquisitions was finalised.

Invest in life

Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements continued

Sydney Ultrasound for Women

During the period, the provisional fair values included in the 30 June 2015 financial statements have been finalised 
subsequent to the completion review. The effect of these changes to the provisional fair values of assets and liabilities 
acquired and consideration transferred resulted in a reduction in the total consideration transferred by $1,361,000, increase  
in current tax liabilities of $519,000, an increase in trade and other payables of $106,000 and reduction in fair value  
of equity accounted investments by $973,000. The net impact of these adjustments increases goodwill by $237,000.  
The finalised consideration and net asset acquired is as follows:

Initial cash payment

Deferred cash payment

Ordinary share issue 

Total

Identifiable assets required and liabilities assumed

Cash and cash equivalents

Summary of the requirements

AASB 9, published in December 2014, replaces the existing 
guidance in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition  
and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on  
the classification and measurement of financial instruments,  
a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment 
on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting 
requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on 
recognition and derecognition of financial instruments  
from AASB 139. 

AASB 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning  
on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for 
determining whether, how much, and when revenue is 
recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, 
including AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction contracts, 
and AASB Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. 

AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning  
on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

of AASB 9.

The Group is assessing

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either 
operating leases or finance leases for the lessee, effectively 
treating all leases as finance leases. This will effectively move 
all off-balance sheet operating leases onto the balance sheet. 

AASB 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning  
on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted.
